It's good that this was discussed with releng. Do they have a plan for
how they will implement this in stage building? I assume they will
want to set ACCEPT_RESTRICT="-bindist".

However, if we start adding restrictions like RESTRICT="ecdsa? (
bindist )", to base system packages (like openssl and openssh), that
'ecdsa' use flag will need to get turned off for stage building to
work.
